VAN VOORHIS: The district attorney has gone into what occurred at
that time, and I ask to be permitted to show _all_ that occurred at the
time of the registry; this offense was committed there; it is a part of
the _Res Gesta_; all that occurred at the moment Miss Anthony presented
herself and had her name put upon the registry.
THE COURT: I don't think that is competent.
MR. VAN VOORHIS: I ask to show what occurred at the time of registry.
THE COURT: I don't think it is competent to state what Warner or Wagner
advised.
MR. VAN VOORHIS: So that the question may appear squarely in the case I
offer to show what was said and done at the time Miss Anthony and the
other ladies registered, by them, the inspectors, and the federal
Supervisors, Warner and Wagner, in their presence, in regard to that
subject.
THE COURT: I exclude it.
MR. VAN VOORHIS: Does that exclude all conversations that occurred there
with any persons?
THE COURT: It excludes anything of that character on the subject of
advising them. Your case is just as good without it as with it.
MR. VAN VOORHIS: I didn't offer it in view of the advice, but to show
precisely what the operation of the minds of these inspectors was at
that time, and what the facts are.
